High Risk with Hepatitis C

Hi there.  I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.  I have Hepatitis C and I am 7 weeks pregnant.  I have been looking online for questions to ask my High Risk Doctor (once they set up the appointment, that is), and I can't really seem to find much.  This is my 3rd pregnancy.  The first died of SIDS 7 days after she was born, and I've had once miscarriage since.  I'm much healthier now that I was in the previous pregnancy, but I'm obviously terrified of missing something.  I've already looked at a bunch of *security devices* to make sure my infant is still breathing when he/she is sleeping.  

Sorry, rambling....

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or advice.  I would really appreciate it.  Thank you!

    I don't have it, but it seems like you'd want to ask questions that one would ask about anything that could possibly affect pregnancy/baby:
    - Any additional screening, monitoring, meds in pregnancy
    - Will it affect labor and delivery at all
    - Is breastfeeding safe?
    - How will baby be monitored and watched afterwards?

    Hope that helps! Good luck. Another board to check out given your losses would be the Pregnant After Loss board, I found it very helpful in my second pregnancy to have the support of other women who understood how a previous loss affects being pregnant.
